my bunny meemie

this is my wee house bunny meemie, shes a 3 1/2 month old english dutch cross.
we got her when she was only 3 weeks thinking she'd be a nice quiet pet to keep us company.

we were wrong! i had no idea rabbits were so active, shes like a puppy!
as soon as you come in shes running around you and you can barely move without her chasing youre feet. she loves playing and after she flops on her back to relax. loves a good cuddle. shes all over you and the sight of food though!

i love her markings, she sometimes looks like a hare

anybody got any advice to get her to stop chewing my couch?! ive tried everything!

What a georgeous mischievious looking bun....years of fun in that little soul.....

Try putting something on couch she doesn't like the smell or taste of to try and break her nibbly habit...............

she likes everything it not even funny!

tobasco sauce was recommened but she loves the stuff! even i couldnt eat it. we got bitter spray from pets at home but she likes that too. im just gonna have to pull everything out the cupboard and see what she doesnt like.

I would have thought dutch cross belgian hare or tan by the look of her, gorgeous though,
get a water spray bottle and every time she starts on couch give her a wee squirt, she will associate soon enough that this happens every time she chews and should give up,
also get her some other things to chew on doesn't need to be expensive toys they are as happy with apple branches as pets at home toys. Toilet roll tubes are often a favorite stuffed with hay.

she really does look like she has hare in here doesnt she? she was from pets at home so maybe they got it wrong!

thanks! next time im in town il get a water pistol!
i cant remember the last time we threw a toilet roll tube in the bin, she loves them! we got her some willow sticks which she loves aswell as a willow house!

Willow is fantastic for their teeth, just use a plant sprayer the noise is as much a deterrent when it sprays.
I would say pets at home have it wrong and she has belgian hare in her not english. Looking at her ears I do hope it is hare and not continental giant

Look forward to seeing her grow up, keep us posted

looked up belgian hare and totally agree with you.
well since that last post she has 'grown up' as she mounted my slipper,while on my foot! now i know why she alway running after me!
